Just eight miles outside Manchester, it's surrounded by landscaped gardens and views of the Pennine Hills, offering modern hospitality and wellbeing as well as easy access to the buzz of a vibrant city of culture and entertainment.
Let's start by talking about the location. Not many places can offer country views as well as proximity to the city, but Mercure Norton Grange Hotel and Spa can. Whether it's waking up in the morning, tucking into afternoon tea or swimming in the pool, the verdant green of the grounds outside really help you to relax and unwind. If you're feeling adventurous, take your walking boots and head off for a hike along the Pennine Way during your stay.
While the original property that houses the hotel dates back to 1875, the interiors and more recently added spa offer contemporary design. As a result, Mercure Norton Grange Hotel and Spa combines the best of all worlds with the romance of the past and the comfort of modern hospitality. The spa is filled with natural light thanks to large windows, rooms are elegantly styled, and facilities provide everything you need for a relaxing stay.
There are two restaurants at the hotel, as well as 24 hour room service so there's always something to tantalise the taste buds. The Grange Restaurant is the place for stylish formal dining, but if you're in the mood for something more casual, head to the Pickwick Bistro for lighter meals, snacks or an aperitif.
Mercure Norton Grange Hotel and Spa welcomes everyone, and it has space and facilities so that families can unwind together. For example, there are family rooms available, there are dedicated children’s swimming times in the pool and there are teenage treatments available on request.
There are lots of gorgeous leisure facilities and spa experiences at Mercure Norton Grange Hotel and Spa, ranging from thermal experiences to Decleor therapies. One of our favourite features however, especially if you're looking for a romantic getaway or quality time with a friend, is the mud rasul. Enjoy a 60-minute experience using mineral rich muds and enjoying the cleansing powers of a private steam chamber.
